The 1937 season was not a very active one, with only three hurricanes and no major hurricanes forming during the season and those stayed out to sea. Most of the activity during the ’37 season consisted of tropical storms. Ironically, Nova Scotia saw more tropical cyclone activity than the entire US east and gulf coasts. A Tropical Storm hit Tampa, Florida and then grazed Nova Scotia. Tropical storms also hit Daytona Beach , Louisiana , southern Nova Scotia, and rural northwest Florida . The most notable storm of the season actually wasn’t tropical, at the time it made itself notable at least. The Extratropical remnant of a Hurricane struck just north of Halifax, Nova Scotia . The storm was moving swiftly, so most of the damage was strictly wind related.
